I have used SWAY for years to tell history stories from our museum. I wish more people used it so microsoft would update and add new features. There are advanced features to customize fonts and color schemes as well. But it was created to be a good tool for presenting media rich info without being a design specialist.
I have used Sway as a presentation tool for a number of years. My complaint is not being able to export as a .ppt or pptx or .mp4. Based on previous comment I feel Sway could receive additional traction if MS gave it a little more TLC. It is actually a fun product, and the finished presentations are eye catching especially when presenting to a community rather than a professional group of attendees.
Great video. Been using since 2020 for my cross- cultural presentations, albeit without a good knowledge of all the features. Your video helps explain some of the features and what they do. My problem is the cloud only save option. It makes the app laggy and difficult to use. In fact, I had to create a backup PPT version for those occasions it gets agonizing slow. One thing i discovered recently is the use of the hamburger menu at the bottom right of the page. Use can use that to skip to any part of the sway if its quite long.
Hi Jonathan I have been a fan of Sway for sometime but a few colleagues are worried about the future of Sway have you heard of any plans for it to be removed from M365, or unsupported? Thank you.
One of your first opening statements has me a bit hesitant to use it. "Not Many People Are Using It." I think I might be apprehensive about creating a large number of Sways with a possibility of it being abandoned by Microsoft.
Hello Jonathan, great video from you! Do you happen to know how to create a carousel for LinkedIn with Sway? Would be great if you could post a video about it. Thank you very very very much!
If you use the embed web part you can. I have found you have to run your mouse over it on the page though to activate it, doesn’t seem to run automatically, but see how you get on.
I'm big fan of Sway. Earlier I could place pictures to the right side and text on the left ..? Now I can't make it, all the pictures are either on the left side or in the middle. Is my memory so bad or is this possible in only some of the templates? I've tried several without luck. Hope the rumors of Sway disappering are just rumors to be ignored :)
